ReactorCoreSystem

The ReactorCoreSystem is the complete power generation infrastructure that provides electrical energy to a bunker. It encompasses the ReactorCore itself, along with all support systems, control mechanisms, cooling systems, safety protocols, and monitoring equipment required to convert refined Asherite into usable electricity. The system is housed within the SurfaceBuilding of each bunker, a heavily fortified above-ground structure that also serves as a train station and defensive fortress. The ReactorCoreSystem is the heart of every bunker's independent power infrastructure, supplying the EnergyGrid that distributes power throughout the underground city.

The system operates through engineered pressure applied to refined Asherite crystals within the ReactorCore, forcing controlled collapse and reformation of the crystal lattice. Each collapse releases electrical energy, and continuous cycling generates sustained power output. The system includes multiple layers of control and safety mechanisms to prevent catastrophic failure, though the consequences of failure scale with the Asherite tier in use. Slate-tier ReactorCoreSystems produce localized explosions upon failure, Amber-tier destroy buildings, and Crimson-tier cause city-level catastrophe. The system is designed for continuous operation, with maintenance cycles scheduled to prevent degradation and extend the ReactorCore's operational lifespan.
